Regardless of the economic conditions in the real estate market, the best-of-breed will always thrive. As Globe and Mail urban columnist John Barber wrote in his review of Radio City, Context projects are "The most cleverly organized, best designed and most sympathetic," and they "are not only the best of their type, they are the type." Context Development, founded in 1997 by Stephen Gross and Howard Cohen, creates innovative residential condominium buildings in Toronto's downtown that appeal to those seeking the smart urban lifestyle. We became "the type" as the Barber says, with our first project, 20 Niagara, near Front and Bathurst Streets, which demonstrated that there was a market in Toronto for Modernist, minimalist, concrete-and-gale condos. That loft development, completed in 1998, won the Ontario Association of Architects' Award for Architectural Excellence, and the city of Toronto Architecture and Urban Design Award.
